I have nothing but respect for the OSR peeps. I'm an old-timey gamer from the early 80's, and my homebrew Greyhawk campaign is going into it's 39th year (we're playing the adventuring grandchildren of the original core group from the 1980's) but I look at something like the new Star Frontiers...

Thanks for the update about Venger Satanis being kicked off of RPG.Net. It's a weird thing these right-leaning people do when in taunting a liberal or left-leaning policy. They receive a response, and then are somehow shocked they've been repulsed at all. For as much as they talk about...

So I take it at some point he was also kicked off of EnWorld as well for being toxic and pouty? He has posted a few times on how this group is 'inferior' and by my estimation, that translates into "I was banned by them for being a pouty drama llama."

He's one of those people who just took his love of TTRPGs a little TOO literally. He started worshiping Cthulu as a real deity and doesn't think of him as a fictional creation made by Lovecraft. He proudly humble-brags about his covenant with Satan as a Satanic priest... right up until he tried...

Venger has always been, and always will be, completely depressing. Anyone who thinks of themselves as a self-made god, and makes a big show all about placing a "powerful" Satanic curse on a website deserves all of the grief they receive from behaving like a pretentious drama llama.

"Horatio Jones" was perma-banned from Tenkar's Tavern for doxxing, which I totally agree with. No matter how much you try and dress it up, doxxing will never be acceptable behavior. He also included (I believe) an address and a phone number when he doxxed his victim (although I see that certain...

All of it is theory, but I'm guessing that Hovermale was invited to come to Wisconsin and was offered a place to live in exchange for being the social media rep. He came out, made almost no money, and eventually threw in the towel when it was clear he was wasting his time attaching his wagon to...

I believe that is adjacent to the demiplane of cheap red wine and the quasi-plane of elemental hillbilly arrogance.

Understood, I'll rein it back and make some edits. My apologies. EDIT: I've modded my original post. Once again, my apologies for some of my previous verbage. I feel that I've corrected the offensive content.

As a veteran who served active duty and overseas during wartime, I'm just embarrassed by Lanasa. Luke Gygax has 23+ years in the military and recently retired with full honors. Justin LaNasa is one of those "in and out" Army guys who couldn't do the long haul and obviously either quit or got...

Good attention or bad attention, the issue is always that certain people will want ANY type of attention. If your convention is doomed to fail with only 4 people in attendance, if you haven't released your Abbadon module, if you haven't shown anyone a copy of your Star Frontiers game yet, if...

The one thing that Justin Lanasa has in overwhelming quantities is unearned confidence. He's virtually swimming in it.

I'm sure if you ask Justin Lanasa, he'll tell you AT LENGTH about the queen beknighting him. It happened on the same weekend that Gary Gygax told Justin that he was the true heir to Dungeons and Dragons, and that he was also the true owner of Star Frontiers. Unfortunately, it was also the same...

Credit where credit is due. If Dinehart is taking the time to spread the lie, he's gonna go full monty and say "Gygax and Arneson and DINEHART and Ward" on those OD&D pamphlets. Don't ever assume Dinehart won't make it all about himself at the end of the day. He's just mediocre enough.

I'm sure Justin LaNasa's name will be prominently figured in the very front of ANY memorial stone they craft, as is his right. After all, if he's truly behind the bulk of all of those multiple $1000 "donations" to the legal fund it's only fair that his name be prominently displayed. Much like...

You look at this RPG game that costs $140 with shipping, and is obviously not done with any indicator of quality or care... Then you see the names attached to the project, and how in addition to being way overpriced, it's also being manipulated in the market by Stephen Dinehart who is not only...

I'm sorry, but I'm never saying that James Ward was a co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons even on the best of days. After what Dave Arneson had to go through just to get acknowledgement of his own claim to the legacy, it cheapens it by saying that James Ward had ANYTHING to do with it other than...

It always made me cringe when the Dolby Corporation sued Thomas Dolby when he used his own legal name as a music artist, saying that he would have to change it to avoid being confused with (allegedly much more popular) Dolby music products. He went into court, and paid 4.8 million dollars in...

Yes, cynical, corporate gaming toxicity at it's very finest. It was the biggest of scams. I remember those ads very well.

When you don't have enough talent to create something successful, you just go for the outright theft of legacy. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Dinehart has always been mediocre and lacks serious gaming credentials. This just backs up his playbook. If you can't compete with the actual...
